Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1557: Chapter 1558: The More You Grow, the More Cabbages You Can "Root Around

The insinuating words from Aunt made not only Aunt Cheng a bit upset, but also Father Qi and Qi Fengping at the same table felt awkward. On such a nice day, it would have been better for you to just have a joyful drink at the wedding, why make such sour remarks?

Qi Fengping, unable to hold her temper, said, "Aunt, you’re really wronging my sister-in-law. Doesn’t she treat relatives warmly? Take my cousin for example, if my sister-in-law wasn’t warm, how would she have brought him to work at this restaurant? You know my sister-in-law’s temper!"

Aunt was choked up, her face looking even worse, thinking, you girl, really sarcastic, do you not understand respect for elders? She also thought Cheng Su was incredible for even winning over this sister-in-law!

She was about to say something when Deng Weiqiu tugged her sleeve under the table. Aunt glanced around and saw that everyone at their table wore indifferent expressions, and even her closest Erzhen seemed to be lost in thought, not paying attention.

As for the rest, they looked united in hostility, making Aunt’s heart chill.

In adversity, one can’t help but bow down. Aunt forced a smile and said, "Indeed, our Deng family must thank your sister-in-law."

Qi Fengping chuckled, turned her head to chat with Xiao Yun, thinking Aunt was getting more confused with age, unable to read the situation.

Aunt Cheng greeted everyone with a smile, then returned to her family’s table to whisper with Third Uncle Cheng, who had come from Guangcheng for the wedding.

Thanks to Cheng Su, Third Uncle Cheng was doing increasingly well in Guangcheng, most grateful and supportive of his niece. Hearing the gossip his wife shared, he sneered, "Such a woman, so unobservant, anyway, we’re relatives with the Qi family, what does she count as? Just ignore her."

Aunt Cheng agreed.

Cheng Su naturally didn’t know about this little episode. As more guests arrived, she and Qi Taiguo got busier and busier, aiming to make everyone enjoy themselves.

Luh Kai also arrived, bringing an extremely expensive gift, a finely colored jade, and jokingly said that this time they had a daughter, who could marry into the family in the future.

Cheng Su exchanged pleasantries with a smile, and after he sat down, Qi Taiguo whispered in her ear, "He has a good plan, his daughter isn’t even born yet, and he’s already talking about her marrying our Xiao Qi."

His tone sounded quite sour.

Cheng Su said, "Anyone listening would think you had a daughter, being coveted so early."

"It’s the same with a son. Our Xiao Qi is promising. Look how many people say they like him and that he’s handsome," Qi Taiguo said proudly.

Cheng Su scoffed, "People flatter you a bit, and you believe it? You’re so conceited. Luckily, he’s a son; if he were a daughter, wouldn’t you just hide her away?"

Qi Taiguo chuckled, "If she were a daughter, I would definitely keep her like in ancient times, lest she gets taken away by pigs."

Cheng Su couldn’t help but laugh at these words.

"It’s good now, this boy is already in demand, and will surely be even more so in the future. Marrying a good wife can benefit three generations. When he grows up, he’ll need to... oops," Qi Taiguo’s eyes were gleaming.

Cheng Su glared at him, "What are you saying? Choosing several to marry, are you teaching our son to be a player?"

Qi Taiguo cleared his throat, speaking cautiously, "Not at all, I’m just saying our son should choose carefully, so he can be filial to you as a mother-in-law, right?" He added, "Also, with so many people around, don’t pinch me; what will people think?"

"Nonsense, go entertain the guests, Uncle Ying is here!" Cheng Su nudged him, but couldn’t help smiling.
